Question For The Week..

2008-05-08T09:41:00.000-07:00

Have you you ever been unhappy about something in your life or about your life in general, and you want to change it, but you can't change it because someone else has to make a dicision to bring about the change..and then the more you think about it the more you get upset about it and then you want to walk away because you feel the decsion will never be made and walking away will solve the problem, but then there isnot really a reason to walk way, but then it is because the issue makes you unhappy and the decision maker thinks your fine but deep down inside your not..

Does anyone understand this? I am just venting without details.

DREAMS.

2008-02-18T21:49:00.000-08:00

Some don't know what it is to dream....
dreams come true when you have faith and believe.

Never let the left hand know what the right hand is doing
Because when you do, the left will try to shoot you down!
And life keeps moving for them,
While you ride the wave that God has provided for you.

Some don't know what it is to dream
until they see you living what you've dreamt.

There is a day coming my friend when you will open your eyes
and see, just how real my dreams were!
And at that point I wonder will you wish you had believed
or will you start bringing to life-your dreams!

This is for my homie..

There is only so much she can take before she turns away, but it doesn't matter because he doesn't care anyway. You guys have been friends for such a long time, but now your friendship seems like it's going to die.

Girl, you've spent so much time changing you to fix him, only to realize in the end he cared only about him. He cared when you were sick, but wouldn't change in his paper work to include you on his medical bills. Yet, he sat to figure out how he could include someone elses...I remember the trembling in your voice when you told me how you felt.

You guys been through your ups and downs.. nothng major it seems.. and how can he tell you to change, if he has to change a billion things, but I don't ever see you complaining.

I am sorry that you are feeling like this..He has no idea what burdens are on your chest, but yet you continue to smile, even when your feeling are hurt. I was there when you silently cried and told me how you felt, But there is only so much you can take, when he wants an eye for an eye for everything! You can't ask for something for you unless he is getting something to; How unwanted you said that made you feel...Girl believe me... I know the deal.

I remember you said yall had a little money and how it was funny that somehow it disappeared, so I guess you have to do what's best and start preparing for your future because as it stands he doesn't believe in you and he doesn't want to be a committed man, which you have to understand, so it is your choice to open your fingers and let go of his hand because it is obvious that he doesn't want to hold on... Talk to you soon.

Nitty What Have You been Up to?

2008-02-08T17:49:00.000-08:00

Well Happy Black History Year, and Happy Valentines Day...I know I have been missing for a good while, but you how it is. I have been okay but just busy...so being I don't encounter too many things to write about I will just let you in what I have been up too...So let's begin with the fact that I have No Time.

NO TIME:

Well besides the fact that I get up at 6 am, take the kids to school, get to work by 9am to leave work at 1:30 and travel to arrive at another job and stay there from 2-7pm explains why I have not time.

OFF MY CHEST!

Don't think I forgot about what you did. I know you think it was dont in the closet, but remember that what you do in the darkness always come to light, so since I am connected to the light I am tuned into your game, so don't sleep on me!
Sometimes I just need to peace and quiet, so just lower your voice sometimes...it can become frustrating and annoying.
What the hell is your problem..I just started at this new job and your already trying to throw a monkey wrench in my game, don't play me..that is why I guess you quit.
I am sick and tired of your lying ass... now I see why you are always trying to blame someone else because you just don't know what you are doing. Retire already!!
Please signal people...signal...I am a new driver I cannot read your thoughts..I guess that is why I am developing road rage.
I wonder how you really feel about me..I have not seen you in a while, but I guess it's when you need something is when you want to deal with me...I wonder if you would still introduce me as your best friend.
You don't know everything!!!
Stop preaching to me if your not doing right!
I am telling you ...I am going to quit on you guys...I am almost there.
Learn to compromise...that is what life is..he created women to handle certain things and men to handle certain things...when that understanding is developed things will be okay.
Don't think I don't know..I know everything.
Just when you thought they learned they got Geico and had no damn car!!!!!!!
Jesus, I want to thank you for looking out for me...know that during my struggles you have put the right people in my way. Thank you for blessing me.
I love you but...

STRUGGLING WITH SEXUALITY:

I know when yall saw this you thought it was me..No... I am strictly dickly...and hold nothing against those who like or love same sex, but what would you do if you found out what you thought all along about someone... To be more specific...I feel that somoeone I know is having a secret relationship with a woman and a guy in my church is struggling with his sexuality, but he wants to be a minister,but the Pastor doesn't believe that he should be preaching, so the struggle that I am having the contradiction that God can use anyone, but you shouldn't be with the same sex. The fact is the congregation doesn't know he is gay or bi, but some people do or think he is, but I feel that doesn't change anything becuase I believe that God can use anyone and noone should be picked to deliver a word to Gods people unles Gods picks them.

If someone in your church was hinding their sexuality and you found out for a fact that he/she was seeing the same sex, would you want them preaching to you?

THE DAY THAT TOOK TO LONG TO END!

It was oneday this week,,I can't remember because I don't have time to think, but that morning we were running late and my oldest son said that he would take the train, so I agreed and decided to drive my youngest son to school.
First, since my husband was going to be late he drove hisself to work and we switched when he got to his destination, I took over the wheel and put my foot to the pedal to try and get my youngest son to school on time; he was 5 mins late.
After getting my husband uptown and across town from where we live then driving into Manhattan to get my son to school, i usually drive back uptown to park my car near the new place that I work at and jump on the train to midtown, so
I drive back uptown, park my car...it's raining...I go into my pocket to get out my metro card for the train ( hair & nails done while rain messing up my hair) to prepare myself to walk 3 blocks to the train, when I realize that my wallet is not in my pocket, so I walk 1-1/2 blocks back to my car to look for my wallet, but it wasn't there, then I pictured it on my bed where I left it, so I was furious because remember I just drove from the 170's to the 90's back up to the 100's within Manhattan and now I have no wallet which mean no driver's license, so I did not want to risk getting pulled over, so I called my husband to vent! then I called my day job, to tell them that I would not be in the office today, but I will be working from home,so
I drove back to the bronx, only to find that it was 10:30am, so that means that I been on the road since 7:30am, could not find parking on the correct side of the street, so that meant that I would have to come out and move my car, which I felt was a waste because parking where I live is crazy at that time, so I went upstairs...did a little work from home and answered a few phone calls and it was off to move the car...then.
of course I could find any parking, so I decided to drive back to Manhattan, pick up my kids from school because they had a half of day, thengot them something to eat and dropped them off by my moms so that I could make it to the other job by 2pm, but guess what?
After dropping them off at my moms.. I had to drive back uptown, but there was no parking and I had about 45 minutes to get to work, so what did I do..Instead of being late, I drove the car back to my moms block, parked the car behind her building, called my husband and told that when he picks up the kids at 5pm that the car would be behind the building. then I jumped on the train and made it to work on time in the pouring rain!
Then, I worked from 2-7pm dealing with parents students and staff..so at about 6:45 I called my husband to see if they got home safe and he was still at work!!! I did not want to hear my mothers mouth, so guess what...I called a cab to go back downtown to get my kids because I was closer and my husband was further up in the 170's and I was just a 5 minute cab ride away, then I called a cab and they did not have anyone to pick me up because it was pouring ran, so what did I do..
I walked 16 blocks!! to my car that parked by my mothers house, IN THE POURING RAIN WITH A LITTLE UMBRELLA...as I was walking..
My brother called me to tell me he was sick from some food he ate and need me to take my neice to my sisters house, so although hate driving in the rain...I picked up my kids and my neice and drove them across town, then after that I was going to drive back home to the bronx from the east side, but since it was raining hard and my husband wanted tme to pick him up..I drove back across town to drive uptown to pick him up and then we drove home...i was soooo tired and frustrated, not at the things I had to do, but just how my day went. and that my friends was the day that could not end. I pray that my days be better

WELL....

2008-02-04T23:31:00.000-08:00

well....well...

Happy New Year, Black History Year and Valentines Day. I missed you guys..I apologize for not being able to post, but I have been so busy with work that it is crazy. I have been getting to work at 8am and getting home at 8:30pm and I just don't have too much time..I check the kids homework, cook a meal or order out and then I fall out, but believe me it has been such a mess!

The Birth of Jesus Christ

This is how the birth of Jesus Christ came about: His mother Mary was pledged to be married to Joseph, but before they came together, she was found to be with child through the Holy Spirit. Because Joseph her husband was a righteous man and did not want to expose her to public disgrace, he had in mind to divorce her quietly.
But after he had considered this, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream and said, "Joseph son of David, do not be afraid to take Mary home as your wife, because what is conceived in her is from the Holy Spirit. She will give birth to a son, and you are to give him the name Jesus, because he will save his people from their sins."
All this took place to fulfill what the Lord had said through the prophet: "The virgin will be with child and will give birth to a son, and they will call him Immanuel"—which means, "God with us."
When Joseph woke up, he did what the angel of the Lord had commanded him and took Mary home as his wife. But he had no union with her until she gave birth to a son. And he gave him the name Jesus.

The Death of Jesus

Later, knowing that all was now completed, and so that the Scripture would be fulfilled, Jesus said, "I am thirsty." A jar of wine vinegar was there, so they soaked a sponge in it, put the sponge on a stalk of the hyssop plant, and lifted it to Jesus' lips. When he had received the drink, Jesus said, "It is finished." With that, he bowed his head and gave up his spirit.

Update: Riped Apple's Fitting

2007-12-22T09:44:00.000-08:00

A couple a weeks ago I wrote a post about "Apple Bottom Jean" <

I also stated that I didn't own a pair and I never thought of owning a pair, until yesterday! My cousin called me and told me how she brought her and her daughter a pear of Apple Bottoms, she was raving at how nice it made her buttocks look because she thinks her buns are not "Apple Bottom Qulified". Then she went on to state: "Shew...if these make my butt look like this I know "Nitty" will look great in them, so guess what? She purchased them from Macy's along with a top to go with it. My jeans look something like this pictures.

She came to my house to make sure that she could see me try them on and said, I knew you would look good in them.

So guys now I have to eat my words because not only am I going to rock my apple bottom, but my apples look in in them too! Thank you Cuz!! your the best and I love ya!

Got To Get THe Warranty!!

2007-12-16T23:59:00.000-08:00

This weekend I wanted to get my nephew because I had not seen him in a while and plus when I spoke to hime he told me he missed me and that he wanted me to take him to see grandma, but with all the snow and everything I decided not to drive and just go clean off my car just incase it snowed tomorrow, so I would not have to shovel too much..

Anyway, back to the nephew who is my youngest brothers son. All weekend he wanted to play both of my sons DS Lite because of course he doesn't have one, but his mother had told me she had already brought him one for Christmas, so I said okay I would get him a game for his NEW DS!, but Sunday morning came and my oldest son "Te"came to me while I was brushing my teeth, holding my youngest Son's "Saih's" DS Lite, saying "look what Matt (Nephew) did." As I looked at what he did I was instantly upset and told my son to get out of the bathroom, so that he would not see mad and I had a chance to collect my thoughts and anger, so finally I check out the damage I found that the hinge of his DS was broken!!! I was furious and with Christmas around the corner I wanted to take my nephew and whip his ass!! but I didn't I call his mother left her a message and waited for her to call me back. Meanwhile, the interrogation started as I questioned my nephew and he came up with 45 different stories, but never telling us how he broke the toy, so I called a meeting with my two sons and him and told them that if they didn't come up with who and how the DS broke I was going to cut everyones ass, so I guess that trick worked because as I left in the bathroom to come to a conclusion this was the conversation:

Oldest Son: You better say something Matt because I am not going to get hit for you.

Youngest Son: You know you broke my toy Matt stop lying to my Mom....(Matt Interrupting)

Matt: I didn't break your DS....(Youngest Son INterrupting)

Y-Son: (hold his hand in Matt's Face) I am not finish talking.. I am not finish talking!! (Matt Smacks Y-Son's hand out of his face. ) You know you broke my DS you were the last one to have it!

Matt: Okay...Okay...I broke it, but my mother is not going to pay for it and when I get my DS for Christmas your not playing with it.

**End**

I was soooooo mad at hearing him admit this, but no one knew tha I was outside of the bathroom listening, as the door opened I moved away. Then I asked Matt did he do it, he said No that my Y-son did it, but then I let him now that I was outside of the bathroom. Then I asked him why did he slapp my son's hand out of his face? and he said with a straight honest face.. "I didn't do that... and before I knew it I popped him for lying!!! I can't stand when people lie and think that you are suppose to believe them!!!

So, being that his mother did not call me back yet, I called his father and told his father that his son broke my DS and Nintendo, will replace it and I don't care if him or the mother are not together, that as his parents they are both paying for it.

Then when his mother called I told her what happened, she was upset and seemed to know how jealous and envious her child could be because most of the time parents try to defend there children, but she was not suprised...but I did let her know that I brought the DS last year and we paid $300 for it because it was close to Christmas when I brought it and the value of it is $129.00, but being that I called Nintendo and they are charging me $62.10 to repair it that she wil have to give me $31.05 and so will his dad (my brother)

(Yes I want it down to the penny!)

I probably would have not asked for anything and just replaced it, but since he showed no remorse for what he did, I told him that his mother was going to pay for it and after I heard him tell my sons that his mother was not paying for it ... I made sure he knew that she would!

Then, to put the icing on the cake my son said: Now I don't have a DS and my nephew said: "Oh well, good luck with that" I wanted to kick his little 6 year old ass... !

Would you have done the same thing?

I feel like not getting him nothing for christmas becasue of his smart mouth, would I be wrong?

Lesson Learned: Always register your products and get the warranty.. because although the serial number could not be read because they had theirs for about a year, they did want to replace it, but "Something about the name Jesus" because when I said to the Customer Service representative: Oh.. Jesus help me... the customer service rep said: Maim, let's see what we can do.. around what date do you think you brought the DS? when I told him.. .he immediately processed my order and my son should have his new DS in a few days... Thank you JESUS...

Steve Harvey morning radio show, here's the scenario:

Your ex girlfriend/boyfriend comes to your house where you and your current girlfriend/boyfriend live and your ex slaps or punches your current boyfriend/girlfriend, as soon as your ex slaps your current partner you jump in to stop the fight, not allowing your current partner to get hit again by your ex or fight your Ex back.
What do you think would be the best resolution for this situation:

BabyFace @ The Nokia Theater 12/9/2007

2007-12-10T01:34:00.000-08:00

Last Night I had such a ball... My hubby suprised me with tickets to see BabyFace. I have always been a fan of his and thought one dayI would marry him, but that dream faded away quickly.

Anyway, this was my first time at the Nokia Theater. It was a nice place on the inside; it's not very big. Babyface's opening act was this new artist from "Ayo" who is the biggest new pop start of 2006 in Europe and her album was just released in the states. I thought her singing was wonderful and soothing to the ear. >Click Here to Read More<

Well of course I love to share my events, so here is a little taste of what "Ayo"sounds like:

"Ayo's CD Cover"
(May look different in Stores)

Then it was on to the main act. My Babyface who I still think is a nice looking man, but I am not crazy in love anymore. I tell you one thing the man has a wonderful stage presense and he is funny with his jokes and humor; You have to love him.

Below, The picture I took:

Here are some snippets of his performance. Please excuse me singing in the background of some of them. LOL I just couldn't help myself.

5. After some mind blowing sex I am least likely to stay up or smoke a cigarette...smoking is yucky!
6. My thoughts about the current weather are "the world is coming to a close, sooner than we think".
7.Frugal with their money and time, but not yours, a know it all, and a person who can't sex me are qualities [in the opposite sex] that I find unappealing.
8. Affectionate, Not afraid to kiss, Not Jealous, allow me to make him smile (I am always laughting and joking) however are qualities I am attracted [in the opposite sex].

Email Shaire:The Golden Compass--Please read this!

2007-12-07T07:36:00.000-08:00

This was sent to me...please read up on this movie before you take your children. Let the Holy Spirit lead you! Find out all the facts.

Can you believe this?

I just learned about a kids movie coming out in December starring Nicole Kidman. It's called The Golden Compass, is a dark movie and the kids in this movie eventually kill God.

It was written by a well known atheist and he makes no apoligies about what the movie is about, and while it will be a watered down version, it is based on a series of children's
books about killing God (It is the anti-Narnia). Please follow this link, and then pass it on. From what I understand, the hope is to get alot of kids to see the movie - which won't seem too bad - and then get the parents to buy the books for their kids for Christmas. The quotes from the author sum it all up.

Based on your beliefs, what you heard and read, will you still take your kids to see this movie?

Prank Calls Still Exist?

2007-12-03T00:24:00.000-08:00

Strange enough I have been keeping myself out of peoples business because I am sick and tired of finding myself in the middle of shyt and all fingers are pointing at me! Don’t get me wrong when the devil comes up against me I can sometimes find myself caught in the middle and allowing the devil to have his day, but that day will come no more.

My husband had just put on his coat and told me he was going to the store when as soon as he left and had been gone about 5 minutes a private call came through on my line. At first I heard silence when I said hello, then finally a background giggle and their TV playing in the background.

I continued to say hello….hello…. because I could hear the Television in the background. So I said: Don’t call and be silent. Then finally A VOICE….

I said to her: Who is this?

She Said: You will know in time.

I said: Who the hell is this?

She Said: You will know who I am soon.

I said: Why wait, you calling here and suppose to be a grown ass woman, why don’t you say who you are.

She said: Do you know where your husband is?

(Now I am getting heated because I was thinking this lady was about to say that she was messing around with my husband!, but then she had the nerve to tell me not to act like I don’t know that I am F*cking her husband because she has seen my number in his phone several times)

I tried to tell the lady that must have miss dialed because I would never think of F*cking another woman’s husband!! And I have a husband of my own. She went on to ask me what was my name and I told her: You mean to tell me you were woman enough to call here assuming that you have the right person who is messing around with your husband, why don’t you tell me your name and your husband name, as a matter of fact I don’t have to know the names because you have dialed the wrong number.

(Handed the phone to my husband laughing.. to tell him to tell this lady that she had the wrong number)

The woman began to tell him YOUR WIFE IS FUCKING YOUR HUSBAND! DON’T BE NAÏVE! And in then I yelled out:

THE DEVIL IS A LIAR!

And the woman said: you know what, I am going to handle this my own way and hung up.

The power of the WORD is awesome! I she got the picture of who I belonged to. Sorry Sista…

John 8:44
You belong to your father, the devil, and you want to carry out your father's desire. He was a murderer from the beginning, not holding to the truth, for there is no truth in him. When he lies, he speaks his native language, for he is a liar and the father of lies.

You have to be Kidding!!!!

2007-12-02T17:46:00.000-08:00

My friend called me this morning to see if I was going to church... of course with no hesitation I said Yeah!!, so her knowing that I am a new driver asked are you driving? and of course before she could finish her sentence, my answer was: Of course. Then the next thing I heard was because it's snowing....

YOU HAVE TO BE KIDDING ME!

HOW AM I GOING TO GET TO CHURCH NOW!

Of course this is the first snow fall since having my car and I was not prepared for this. I know I tackled the rain, the fog etc, but snow... I don't think so, but then I thought about it and I said you know what:

God you did not give me this car to dedicate it to alternate side of the street parking and you surely don't want me to miss the great word that you will have for me and my family today, so I said a prayer for God to grant me traveling mercy, went outside heated the car, the kids and I clean it off and I sat in my car thinking that my husband should have said yes to me when I asked him to drive me to church and that I would take the bus back, but I put that thought out of my head because I was already in the car without him. I took off and even found a great parking spot. God is definetly good.

Now when I got to church the Title of the sermon was "Jesus Is In The Tabanacle" and I said to myself, Wow...he sure is because it took some prayers and faith to get me here to hear the word and although many of you may not know the WORD became Flesh and now the Holy Spirit lives in us and in order to activate it we must meet Jesus at the Tabanacle!

I also thought this was an interesting picture ClickMe

It depicts how we never know what lies dormant underneath that skin that we rub up against while having sex. We never know what someone has and when we get stung or bitten, then we say "It can happen to anybody" when all along we thought "It could never happen to me"

1 Corinthians 6:1-20

"Do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own; you were bought at a price. Therefore honor God with your body"

Kirland & Connors!

2007-12-01T00:44:00.000-08:00

Okay please tell me that you saw the fight between James Kirkland of texas and Allen Connors of the Bronx!!! What happened Connors!!! you were suppose to represent and I took your side all because you were from New York representing the Bronx, the disappointment was that you thought that you could beat this guy? He came at you like you stole something from him.

Didn't they see that your legs were not stable, but I guess they wanted to give you some kind of hope to make you feel like you had a chance. I must give it up to you though... you tried, but I tell ya Kirkland embarrased you homie....

More Like A Sliced Apple

2007-11-29T12:40:00.000-08:00

To each is own and I am only stating my opinion, but this morning as I tried calmly to wait for street cleaners to ride by so that I can get a parking spot and head on to work I could not help but to watch every person that walked by my car window. Then suddenly, I noticed that at least 5 out of the ten of the females that walked by had on apple bottoms… Now don't get me wrong I am strictly Dickly, but you know how us women do…we see another woman and we do that "half-a-second-check" from head to toe.

Now during my observation, I was talking to myself like "No she don't have those on with a pancake bottom!" (Didn't you hear why Nelly made these Jeans!!?) I would not be caught dead in a pair unless I had an apple bottom and if your wondering in my opinion I can wear the mess out of some Apple Bottoms, but I don’t' own a pair.

So if you wear apple bottom here is a bit of advice, but it doesn't mean you have to follow it because this is just the opinion of ONE woman and if you feel you look great in them, then so be it… but

1. Do not fold your Apple Bottoms at the waste!! Fashion No No!
2. Don't wear them unless your apples are ripe!
3. Don't wear them if a couple of bites of your apples have been taken.
4. If all else fails get them tailored….

Repent! Don't Repeat!

2007-11-28T12:02:00.000-08:00

Mind-bogglingly you pour out to others,
Guide them, cleverly try to divide them
Protecting your sin with the WORD.

Why?

Is God Happy with your faith?
Can he see you as a disgrace, even though he loves you?

You walk around Puffed-up on the inside
The façade is what everyone else sees; not me!

When you THINK you have discernment on who is on to your schemes
Again and again you TRY to protect it with the WORD,
Instead you need to get down on your knees.

Lies slide off of your tongue and you should be ashamed.
For using God’s words and your lies as one-in- the-same.

You may have not shed the blood of the Innocent,
But they have become your Kill!

Tell me:
Do you think “a heart that devises wicked schemes”
Is music to God ears?
So, quick to backslide into the ways that make you fit into the world,
When you preach that “God Spoke to you” and “this is what you heard”.

Want everyone to do for you,

guess what? Trust in God to provide to your open hands.
“There are six things the LORD hates,
Seven that are detestable to him”

And I believe that you have checked off
On each and everyone of them.

What is the world Coming to?

Let Your Shell Protect Your Dove

2007-11-20T21:42:00.000-08:00

This post was inspired by Sojourner & Tha L. After reading their post I was inspired to dig into the tip of my Poetry Closet and this is what my mind came up with:

Clear like water
Bright like the sun.
Never on the left, takes flight like DOVE.

Speaks in a whisper
For only you to hear
To have a friend like him
It overwhelming; it brings tears.

Darkness doesn’t know light
Water doesn’t know land
Creatures of many kinds
All because he Spoke.

Seashells in the ocean
Ocean life lives within
From the rib of the a Man
A woman lives

As the wind blew
From dust a man was formed

a shell to protect our Dove.
We breathe only because he blew into Mans Nostrils.

Clear like water
Bright like the sun
The DOVE that soars …
Lives within US.

-Be Blessed

Top Ten For A New Driver...

2007-11-18T00:00:00.000-08:00

Okay, when I was 16 years old I was so excited to get my license, but after my 5 lesson deal I thought I was so ready and just knew I would return from my road test as a winner, but I wasn't and was dicouraged thereafter.

16 years later.....Yes you read correctly....16 years later I was at it again and finally put my heart and mind into and finally got my license! But I assure you that if I did not have a car before I had my license, I would probably still be a non-driver.

So here I am a license driver for 17 days, had my car for 6 months & 18 days, and already I have lost my passion for driving, IS THIS NORMAL?

The day I got my license, I jumped in my car and conquered my fear of the road, I took my oldest son with me, we got lost and I found my way to my destination, now I'd rather my husband drive because I feel like I am loosing my passion for driving...Why? Heck if I know...Here are my top ten reasons:

1. Dammit, Signal!!! how the hell am I suppose to know that you are turning right if your in the left lane and not turning left!! signal!!

2. Stop honking me because I stopped at the cross walk when the light turned yellow, that is what I am suppose to do ... next time go around me and let the "Red Light" camera catch you!

3. Why are you getting mad because I won't let you go in front of me, Signal and maybe I will know to let you in. Signal!

4. So, you have bumpers on your buttock? It says don't walk, not walk in front of the car silly rabbit.

5. Okay, I have been driving around for 2 hours and still no parking???? something has got to give. Where is my metor card?

6. Dammit, this glare is killing me.. I don't think I like this night driving stuff, but I guess I have no choice I have to get home. I Should have taken the bus.

7. Oh man!!! time to fill her up again, where is the next gas station.

8. I can't see if I am near the curb or not, oops! I tapped the curb..I keep telling myself I don't like this night driving thing I can't park in dark..I must start getting out and getting in earlier.

9. Mommy! Mommy!... Dammit stop talking to me... I am a new driver and I need to focus on the road...The funny thing is I can listen to music and talk to my spouse while driving, but it's something about the kids; they just talk tooo much...

10. Yes!... parking, nope wrong side of the street. Why can't the street cleaners come out once a week? now I have to find a Tues/Thurs side.

Peoples don't get me wrong... I am not complaining, but somehow I am loosing my passion... I get home and my eyes are tired and I just want to sleep from being on the road, now I see why people don't like driving or taking other people places in their car... it is down right tiring. I can also see why my husband was getting tired of driving me around.. Any suggestions???

Train poetry#2

2007-11-15T16:43:00.000-08:00

Boy I tell ya,
The things you see
In New York whether
Your on the platform or on the train.

Woman sitting on the bench
Dark skin, cockeyed
Not cross eyed.

She sits her purse on the empty chair
A big fat lady with a wig comes and sit on it.

The lady with the purse says:
"your big fat ass!"
And the lady with the wig said:
"Just move your damn bag!"

The lady with the purse says:
You big fat hoe
Your just mad that your fat
Get some exercise and walk the platform!

Did I mention the lady was cockeyed
I don't think that she was taught
That we're all Gods children
No matter what!

He made that lady fat
Put your eyes
One left and one right
And you have the nerve
To pull the race card,
When both of you are black,
And start a fight?

I was so disturbed by this
I wanted to have something to say
Besides the heavier lady was an elder
And Miss cockeyed showed no respect!

So, another lady and I started chit-chatting on the side,
About how stupid this argument was
And a purse was the cause.

Just then Miss cockeyed heard me
And tried to pull me in the fight,
She said to me:
Shouldn't she be sorry for sitting
Her big fat ass on my bag?

I said Miss, don't put me in this
In fact let it go!
You both should stand up
Because the train is in the tunnel.

Then she started yelling at me
As if I sat on her bag, so
I started to question her,
So she could see how stupid
The situation was, I said:

Miss does it really matter
That she sat on your bag?
Is this life threatening?
Do I need to call an ambulance?

Just then she got all flustered
And realized how stupid she looked,
She jumped up from her seat
And walked down a couple of carts.

I looked at the elder lady
And we shook our heads like WOW!
Boy I tell ya the things that go on
In this city called New York, so
Be careful about what you do
Because the next Train story may be about you!

The Crevices...

2007-11-12T19:28:00.000-08:00

In the crevices of my brain

hidden away from time

My feelings

In the crevices of my brain

Streaming rivers of anger,

unhappiness...

hurt...

pain...

Confusion...

Delusion...

A loniness and a void I cannot fill

but someone else can

and noone else will

In the crevices of my brain

there's a drout and much doubt,

but noone cares but me anyway

Rather, put all the blame on me

I forgot, this is a one way street when it benefits

someone, but noone will admit to it

There's no thirst in my mouth,

but I am the blame; I am what its all about

The cause of drout, unhappiness and pain..

Now I understand what Tamia meant:

And her name is ME!

It's all about Me, I am one in the same.

But,

In the crevices live ME, MYSELF & I

No one can see the picture because

they have painted colors filled with lies

while I bow down and say "Have it Your Way"

Those days will soon end

I will not start over again

I will just wait and see

what else flows from the crevices

of this brain that resides in ME.

Nitty's Response.

2007-11-11T17:16:00.000-08:00

HoneyLibra Asked: If you could take the place of a different race and person who would it be?-
I would not want to take the race of anyone. I like who I am and what I look like. So taking on another race is out of the question. Funny enough when I was little I wished I had dark skin, but once I got to know both sides of my family and realized that it was just in my DNA I was satisfied with ME, but I never wanted to walk in anyone else’s shoes, but I thank God for parents because they taught me how to love myself for who I was.

Sojourner_G asked: What were your final thoughts about the last issue of which we corresponded?
I would love to give you a final thought, but at the time I was answering you from my PDA and your last response did not save to my orginal email, so if you would please email me the last response. I will give you a final thought. **Thank You**

Ms.Behaving Asked:How did You arrive @ the name Nitty-Gritty?

Well I use to Blog under a different name, then change came into my life and I stopped Blogging and needed to reinvent myself, even on my blog, so I deleted my Blog and needed a name that would describe me what I represent. So I came up with Nitty Gritty because it means: Direct and Practical and that’s me for those who know me… I am just straight forward and when necessary I get down to the Nitty Gritty.

MisUnderstood asked: How does it feel to finally be able to express yourself?

It is such a wonderful feeling, although I have always expressed myself I am just living my life out loud and I just say what I feel.

Fuzzy Asked: What is your career? What are you recovering from? How old are you? Do you ever come to Jersey?

I am a manager in a engineering company and a program coordinator in an after-school program.
I am not recovering from anything life threatening, but I am recovering from dealing with BS from other’s and even my own BS… I have developed a low tolerance for other peoples BS.
Well I don’t have anything to hide… I am 32.
No I don’t ever come to Jersey… I think I only know two people who live in Jersey and they live together…

Bah.. Like A Sheep,Howl Like A Wolf!

2007-10-20T12:00:00.000-07:00

Your a waste of his time! How dare you have him sticking his neck out for you especially since you shared with me the partial truth!!!!!! I dont' know what to think of you!

Why I say this? Because your a wolf and out of your mouth you talk like a sheep, but what can I say? the story doesn't make much sense anyway to me, but night after night he sticks his neck out for you, helping you look and search and he's not even paying attention to the things that are important to him, which should be his family, but yet you are soooo deceiving and misleading I wish he could see through you the way that I do or better yet feel the vibe I feel, but I guess he has no choice but then again he does, because GOD gave us the gift to choose.

Now I know for sure that those dreams I dreamt were really about you!! I really don't know what to say to him, but I know I will stick by his side and after this is all over, all I know is that you better come clean with whatever it is that you have a ton of stories about, and think for some reason I understand where your coming from; you are sadly mistaken because I don't take well to liars, especially when it interfers with someone's family life!!! I beg you to watch it because the wrong move with me and I will have no problem neglecting to know you!

I guess you forgot who birthed me! Do you not realize that I am smarter than what you think? I know you pick up the vibe in my spirit, strong isn't it? that why you say you are telling me because you know my spirit told me something. I pickup the things about you even as your talking to me, but I can't share that with anyone because they would think that I am crazy! But from what I know about the Funny Feelings that have been attacking me, is that quoting the word can't help you, it's people like you and others I know who keep others from going to church, but the truth shall set you free!!! I guess I will continue to pray for you because in my spirit I feel that something is not right, but I will wait patiently and hopefully I will prove myself wrong. -Until then...I will just pray.

One-In-The-Same!

2007-10-19T11:40:00.000-07:00

You know many times when we are going through trial and tribulations in our lives we pray, but sometimes when we do, we are not direct with what we are praying for. I had this conversation with a young lady who was 19yrs old and filled with wisdom, she knew her purpose and been in church all her life and still needed direction. Although I knew, I became much more aware that it is not how long you been in church, but where you stand in your relationship with GOD, so here I was a person who thought she didn't know about God, until I had to apply it. I was minstering to her because she was having difficulty understanding how her friends her age don't love GOD the way she does and she wished that she didn't have to cut some of her friends out of her life because now since she came to GOD they are treating her differently. So I continued to minister to her telling her that when you come to Christ you can't bring everyone because it is your calling and that she may be the one that GOD uses to get her freinds to lean on him and after we finished talking I thought to myself this:

1. How come when we come to Christ your friends and family peel away from you like the skin of a banana?

2. How come when we come to Christ some people pray that certain people stay away from then instead of Praying what is inside of them, out of them?

These questions prompt this post today, so, collectively with people that I have come across in my walk I pray that these things leave your spirit and that you become whole with yourself, so that you and I can be on one accord because we are one in the same. Here is a list of some of the things that I pray out of some peoples lives:

1. SORRY

2. IRRESPONSIBILITY

3. TWO-FACED

4. SECRETS

5. SCREAMING

6. LAZY

7. BLAME

8. FAULTLESSNESS

9. SELFISHNESS

10. NAIVE

SORRY that is your name, but sometimes you need to take the blame, stop looking for fame because it makes you look lame. Instead practice these words out of your mouth when you do wrong; it is easier said then done!

Sorry, I am tired of you hanging out with IRRESPONSIBILITY, infact you need to get with responsibility, so that he/she can introduce you to humility, so that all the blame, pointing fingers and calling names can be deceased because when we are righteous we are ONE-IN-THE-SAME, but what difference does it make because when the two of you have nothing else to do your friend TWO-FACED tags along and I just can't take it! the way TWO-FACE fakes it, no wonder why your one- in- the- same.

Not to mention your friend SECRETS who think they know how to get around and get by, no wonder your realated to NAIVE; so simple in the mind! That's why You (Secrets), Naive and LAZY are nothing but crazy and you all point the fingers at your friend BLAME because again your one-in-the-same!

Oh and by the way I bumped into FAULTLESS and I warn that faultless be cautious because when faultless gets together with SCREAMING, SELFISHNESS always tries to get involed, why? because you are one-in-the-same.

So, I said all that to say this:

I can be SORRY when I do wrong and show pity, because I hang out with RESPONSIBILITY and not IRRESPONSIBLITY. I have no patience to be TWO-FACED and I never keep SECRETS because secrets is not on my side, or even my friend. I am tired of SCREAMING; who gives me headache because screaming has no respect for my thoughts or feeling even when I express them. I don't want to point fingers, but I am not always to BLAME. We have to work together we are one-in-the same. LAZY is what lazy does and those who look up to lazy will follow in lazy's ways, so expect what is to be expected.

Just remember we are not FAULTLESS, SELFISH OR NAIVE if we work together on the righteous side, we will be on one accord; one-in-the-same. Choose this day which side you will operate on.

Not Having A Good Morning!!

2007-10-18T08:05:00.001-07:00

Tired, frustrated, Tired, Frustrated, Sick and Tired!

You ever woke up with a good day on your mind, but people and things get in your way! And not only are they the cause of your day being fucked up!! they don't care about your delay or appear to have no respect or remorse for your feelings or time!

Yet! Let it be forbidden if you somehow interfer with their morning!

My focus in the mornings is trying to get my tired ass up and out of the house. I don't have time to focus on who called me the day before, how long its taking to tie a shoe, take out the garbage; and all these thing become void when my morning is upset!!! Don 't add to my problems and situations!! There are bigger problems outside of the box we live in!, instead get in touch with wisdom because..........you know what let me go pray because the more I bicker the happier the devil becomes. (on the train trying to calm down)

Well thanks for listening to my tantrum, I hope I didn't upset your morning. Have pleasant day. Sigh.....

Funny Feelings...

2007-10-18T00:00:00.000-07:00

Lately, I have felt these funny feelings that I am afraid to tap into because the feeling make me uneasy. I feel like something is wrong. It may not necessarily be with me, but it's just weird. First it started with a dream I had and this ugly looking woman was chasing me. I was running and running and there were many people in my dream that I knew, but somehow this lady was able to mind control them to say, think and do what she wanted them to do. I remember vividly in my dream that I was trying to wake myself up because I was dreaming. I was tossing and turning and my husband woke me up because he noticed I was struggling in my sleep. I felt like crying because the lady almost got me and my heart was beating really fast.

Ever since then I have had this funny feeling in the pit of my stomach, like I want to love on my husband more, I seem more protective of my family, more sensitive to people and sometimes even scared; (NO I AM NOT CRAZY) and I don't know why? Then this pass sunday a friend of mind came over to watch my kids and she made this face, and this face was not scary, but it sort of threw me back to this same dream I had last week. Not to say that she is ugly, but only to say that her facial expression took me back to the dream and she was not even in my dream! It just gave me a funny feeling a bad vibe.

Now I believe that I have a sixth sense, but I really don't feel like tapping into it because I don't know what more my senses could reveal and it is all due to my funny feelings. Last night this same lady came back to me in my dream she looked not so pretty and she was trying to tell me something, she was saying I am sorry, but yet she was trying to mind control me like she did in my dream the last time. I don't konw about this, but now I find myself holding on to my husband more at night because if I have to confront this witch like think in my dream again I need him to wake me up before she touches me and had control of my mind. I know this sounds crazy, but the dream seems so real. What could be about?

My Weekend With Boyz II Men!!

2007-10-16T13:45:00.000-07:00

I must say that I love to go to the Venue's that play at the BBKing on 42nd in New York City. My sweetheart took me to see BoyzIIMen this past Saturday, so here are some snippets of my experience. If you know my voice you can probably hear me singing my heart out while I was recording and taking photos, I think I took some great pictures... GO ME!, but the video may be alittle too jumpy because I was Dancing most of the time. Thereafter we went to my Cousin's 32nd B-Day, where we ate dinner danced and laughted.

And I must say if you ever visit New York, 42nd street even has shows that you don't have to pay for:

TMI Tuesday: What I like About You!

2007-10-16T08:11:00.000-07:00

Well I got these questions from HoneyL's interview and I liked them so much I thought I would Borrow them to Share on TMI Tuesday, so here they go:

How Tall Am I?
Well I am 5-10.5, I alway include the half because I love my height, so you can imagine me in heels. For those of you who know me personally know how that look.

What’s the longest relationship I’ve Been in?
Well I must say the longest relationship is the one I am in now. It is also the longest because this has been a faithful relationship from day one. I have never been tempted to cheat or want to see other people and I think it is great.

What’s my Birth Order?
I am the Fourth Child of 5 children. My sister is the youngest and I have three older brothers. Number four means alot to me especially that the 4th verse in the Bible reads: "And God saw the light, that it was good: and God divided the light from the darkness"- Gen.1:4.

I feel that I am that light and that is why God has chosen me to have my light shine bright with he things he is having me to do in this life. And with this light I have been able to seperate myself from Darkness and look forward to my purpose.

If you could have one extreme makeover done on you or abut me what would it be?
Honestly, I would not change anything about myself. Except that the most extrem make over would me doing some situp to tighten my stomach, but what doesn it matter; I love myself just the way I am.

Are you a Salt or Sweet Alcoholic?
I use to be a Sweet Alcoholic, but I don't drink like I use to. Those who have hung around me in those days of drinking know I can hold my own, but I have since slowed up and may have a drink here and there on special events.

I hope everyone had a wonderful weekend, like I did, so be sure to come back for taste of my weekend, but for now I will leave you with a quote:

"People talk about the meaning of life; there is no meaning of life--there are lots of meanings of different lives, and you must decide what you want your own to be." - Joseph Campbell

Just Call It Quits!

2007-10-11T19:59:00.001-07:00

I was watching divorce court and it was clear that the woman who was newly married had a good head on her shoulders, didn't seem very demanding, and loved her husband, but his problem was that he was a cheat!

Now, I say this to say whether you are married or in a committed relationship, if you feel the need to cheat for even one time, then maybe that is not the relationship for you, because that means you will continue to do so.

So..the husband went out and cheated. He said it was easy to cheat on his wife because he was a supervisor where he worked, so on his way to work he would stop by the side chick house and spend a hour with her before going to work, then when she became pregnant and had a baby, he got busted because the wifes friend found out, then his punky brewster self tried to confess to his wife with gifts and trinkets, but she told him about himself because she knew before he opened his mouth.
********************************

Fellas who cheat, don't get married because it is deathdo us part.

Ladies, don't compromise when it comes to shyt like this!

FRUSTRATIONS!!!

2007-10-10T14:00:00.000-07:00

It annoys me when you try to do something productive for someone that you think might help them in some way or another, but then the end results are them asking you why you did it, they don't see the meaning behind it or just do not appreciate the fact that you took the time to try and help them out even if they didn't need the help.

Instead, they "DIS" what you tried to do for them with asking question after question and then tell you they don't need it; they give it back or tell you to remove this or put that back and then after they "DIS" you they turn around and ask you for something that they need and then you are more than willing to help them out without all the questions!!!! , so they continue on with their day with the information you provided to them, yet you sit with your crushed feeling. All that need to be said was: "I appreciate what you tried to do for me, but it is really not necessary, but since you took your time and thought that it would help me, just leave it that way", but I guess sometimes people don't always think about how their reaction to something can affect someone else's feelings.

I am Annoyed!!!

LAST NIGHT...

2007-10-10T11:29:00.000-07:00

So there I was creeping up behind him, although I knew he could see me coming toward him. Then slowly I turned and twisted his knob until it felt just right and slowly he stroked and massaged me all over my body. It was such a steamy warm sensation; It felt so good I started singing to myself. I found myself in deep thought as the small room filled with hot steam; the steam was so thick you would have thought that the fire department was going to knock on the door. After it was all over I just sat there and patted myself dry, wiping away the steam that made me sweat. Then I adjusted his knob, so the head would not sprinkle on me and as I sat there full of relief;I thought to myself "That was a great Shower I took, quiet with me, myself and I", I tell yall late night showers when the house is quiet is so relaxing, oh and I forgot to tell ya "GET YOUR MIND OUT OF THE GUTTER" GOTCHA!

HAPPY HUMP DAY!

Steal Her Praise? NOT!

2007-10-08T20:00:00.000-07:00

You had the nerve to try and snatch away her JOY! and tell her that the man in her life would not marry her. Then you turned around and tried to blame it on someone else. You even went as far as to say that it was one of her relatives because she had a repretation of not keeping her mouth shut, but guess what the story you told is everything the devil would say; so I GUESS THAT MAKES YOU A LIAR. Besides, who would tell their daughter-in-Law something like that. She told me that she has been holding on to this four about a month now because if she told your son, I don't know what he might do. Even! if you knew this type of information to be true, why would you tell her that! Then go and lie and said you heard it from a source she never knew or talks to.

I guess out of the mouth the heart speaks and I guess you are going to have to come to terms that "When a man finds a woman he finds a Good Thing" and Guess what? She is that good thing and their is nothing you can do about it because the decision is theirs. You see a heart that is not right can't get in tuned with the spirit and that maybe why you are in the shackles that the devil has you in, but when you decide (because GOD gave us choices) to get a Heart Transplant and really start getting back into doing his work, then maybe the tricks that the Devil is leading you to play will cease, but until then I will help her pray for you because the Devil can't stand up while we praise. Remember when David Danced before the Lord, when he got home I believe it was his wife the devil used to steal his praise, but guess what you under estimated her, God has been in her life from a little girl and now she is getting to know him better.

We will continue to pray for you.

Thank God It's Almost Friday, But for Now....

TMI Tuesdays

2007-10-03T08:55:00.000-07:00

Okay this is my first time partaking in TMI Tuesdays, I got this from Organized, who got it from TMI Tuesdays., so if you want to Join in visit that site to get the questions and post them on your site every Tuesday.

1. Early bird or night owl?
Night Owl.

2. If you could only be one, would you rather be smart or good looking?
Smart

3. Do you gossip?
Yes, but it is good gossip.

4. On a scale of 1-10, how adventurous are you? (1 is lowest, 10 is highest)
I would say that I am a Six only because I don't get the opportunity very often.

5. On a scale of 1-10, how good a kisser do you think you are? ( ditto )
I would have to say I was a 10, but who know the last time I kissed *Crickets* blame it on the busy weekend.

Secret Men Don't Tell.

2007-10-03T07:42:00.000-07:00

I was reading this article online and these were 11 secrets most men keep, including your husband:

1. Yes, he falls in lust 10 times a day -- but it doesn't mean he wants to leave you.

I Don't think my other half falls in lust 10 times a day. If he did I probably would be upset

2. He actually does play basketball to get away from you.

He does this mostly on good days, but I don't think he does it to get away from me.

3. He is unnerved by the notion of commitment, even after he has made one to you.

I am not sure about this one...

4. Earning money makes him feel important.

I don't know about feeling important, but I do know it is important to him to take care of the family. I think it would bother him very much if he did not make enough money.

5. Though he often protests, he actually enjoys fixing things around the house.

Not...I think I am the Fix it one. Once his CD player broke and I took it apart and fixed it.

6. He likes it when you mother him, but he's terrified that you'll become your mother.

I think he rather get that from his mother; although we already have kids, i think he would be terrified if I had another. Thank you Birth Control.

7. Every year he loves you more.

I belive he loves me every year more and more and about 60 days our of the year he hates me.

8. He really doesn't understand what you're talking about when you discuss "issues" in your relationship. It makes no sense at all to him -- even though he will nod in agreement and apparent understanding

He doesn't give to much attention to my issues and I think that is why we find ourselves at the same place over and over again, but other than that we have a great relationship.

9. He is terrified when you drive.

I think when I get my license, which is very soon he will be terrified when I drive.

10. He'll always wish he was 25 again.

I don't know about that, I guess it depends on what was happening around that time in his life.

11. Give him an inch and he'll give you a lifetime. Translation: Let him be a dumb guy and play poker with his buddies or go on vacation alone, and he'll love you forever for that.

I don't think I have that kind of relationship, we basically do what we want but we do let each other know. We don't ask to hang out with friends that is stupid! we just say I am going out "on this day" and that is that.

Parenting AROUND THE WORLD!

2007-10-01T17:25:00.000-07:00

No matter how old our kids get we must continue to teach them. Our kids common sense come from what we teach them. As parents we can't expect our children to know simple things. Sometimes kids are not exposed, so they don't know. If we see that our children don't know something, then we must be patient with them and not condemn them for not knowing. As parents we should not yell at our children because they don't know something that is so simple to us, but instead we must calmly show them the correct way to say or do things before we yell at them, put them down or call them names. The bible says "so as a man thinketh he is", so if you tell your children that they are stupid, retarded, acting like a two year old, then they just may think what you say the are, but guess what we don't live in a perfect world. So that makes us not so perfect as well. The bible says, honor thy mother and father, but parents don't provoke your children to anger, so next time you find yourself filling your childs head with something that will not make them a better person, think about this post. A childs mind is a terrible thing to waste, so feed your childs positive words and teach themthe negativity that they will encounter in the world.

The Slug..

2007-09-25T19:36:00.000-07:00

There are many different types of slugs, but the slugs that I am talking about are the ones that if they come in contact with them they will SUCK on you until you burn them off or pluck them off. I am talking about the SLUGS in your life. You know, those people in your life that either openly or secretly latch on and sucker you! They talk so much game about what they are doing in their life, but yet you see no production! SLUG.

What about those SLUGS, that secretly sucker you out of things in life that hinder your growth? The secret slugs walk around pretending that they shyt gold, but really they have nothing but game and tricks to sucker you out of anything, money, food and your time, so that they can continue to live out the life that they have led other to believe that they live; SLUG!

and lets not forget the SlUGS that latch on because of how you carry yourself that they believe that you hold some type of position, but then realize that you are not having that shyt and tell them about themselves.

Basically, I am sick and tired of people around me sucking, sucking & sucking creating mental stress, uncomfortablity and making me see them in a different light. I am tired of pretenders people hiding behind a facade that they think noone can see. I am greatful that SLUGS don't live in my household and right now I can't call anyone in my family a SLUG (maybe 2), but lately I have seen and come in contact with many of them, so SLUGS:

Find something to do with your time. Stop using other people they have families to take care of , in some cases only themselves and with your sluggish mentality all your doing is creating stress and prohibiting the person you are trying to latch on to from their purpose. As I watch these people from the side lines I just light a match and burn them away and see if they can survive in their own back yard instead of messing in others.

I am just frustrated....Burned out and Tired and need some rest.

Millionaires and The Middle Class Distinction # 9

2007-09-24T23:20:00.000-07:00

Distinction #9: Millionaires talk about ideas. The middle class talks about things and other people.

**Don't forget to anwer the questions**

Think about some of the things that we talk about on a daily basis, what is it really doing to enhance our future? Is it doing anyting to compliment that great idea that is going to make you a million dollars. Are the things that we talk about helping develop our ideas into reality?

What do you spend your time talking about? Sad to say but I spend my time talking about other things when inside this head of mine are many ideas that are not being utilized because I have not presented them to the anyone. The books said that there are: "Those who make things happen, those who watch things happen, and those who say what happened" Which category to fit into? I think I have alittle bit of all, so that tells you that I am not focused.

Do you still think your middle class? "Middle class spends its money on the things that were created by a millionaire's idea" "Middle class and the very poor are Hollywoods biggest fans...Live for gossip....are glued to their television set!!!!

I almost fell to my knees when I read this part: "People who are easily impressed with others are often insecure and confused about what they want in life..." I am so the opposite and it bothers me to death when I see people diving into someone elses accomplishments.. I am not saying don't be happy for them but I do agree agree that those type of people are confused and insecure because by showing others how impressed they are with their lives they are hiding what they have not accomplished.. does that make sense?

Advice from Dinstinction #9:

1. change your vocabulary, use positive words instead of negative. " I can't Afford"... I can Afford...

2. Stop Complaining and start learning!!!

Distinction #8 Millionaires embrace change. The middle class is threatened by change.. Think about that will post my thoughts soon.. Have a great weekend.

Having Fun...

2007-09-22T21:56:00.000-07:00

I have been out all week until 10pm... I am just involved in too many things, but guess what? I deserve some fun and so, I am going to Great Aventure with my sister and cousins... This should be great fun although I know I wil lbe tired as hell, hAVE A GREAT WEEKEND.

Why Does this Hurt Me So Bad?

2007-09-21T11:00:00.000-07:00

You know the first time I heard "I'll buy your cloths....I'll pay your rent...I'll cook your dinner too..Soon as I get hom from work" by Babyface... I was sold!! I was sucha big fan of his and you know when you have that young heart mentality you feel in your heart that oneday you will marry your famous crush.

Well that crush ended the day I met him. I played hookie from college and went to see him in the dead cold of December. Once I met him and got a close look at him I realized he was nothing but a painted face and to top it off he had some work done on his teeth and it looked like caps and fill-ins, so when whe smiled it looked like he had cavities, so at that point my crush was over!! but that is not my worry anymore because when I found out that he had gotten married to Tracey I was like "darn my dreams are over" (please remember that my crush was more than 8 years ago), but I was very happy for him. They had a little baby he wrote a song... I though that this was the most beautiful thing a man could do for his wife. Then I remember seeing MTV CRIBS with Babyface showing off the home that belonged to Tracey and himself. I was so very happy that he had found love, but then the news started buzzing about Tracey and Eddie Murphy. I must tell you all that I was so disgusted with the whole thing!! I really don't know why I am so upset with her because I don't know the facts about what went down between her and her husband, but I am like "Why in the heck Eddie" who just had a baby and the DNA test proved that he was the father!!!! I mean what happened to "Till Death Do Us Part"? Now, I can't blame her for everything because their are two sides of the story, but EDDIE!!! and now there is talk that they are engaged to be Married!! YUCK!! You have to be kidding me!! EDDIE!! I like him as an actor and all, he's cute, but WHY TRACEY? WHY EDDIE? TRACEY how could you disgrace yourself and your family like this? and Eddie, Why her? Why another celebrities wife, I think I really would have felt better to know that they divorced and she was dating someone without ICON status. I am so furious about this that I can see why I was trying ot marry this man back in the day (LOL) , but then again I don't know if BabyFace was doing his duty as a husband, but with all the money and fame that you guys have, you mean to tell me that you couldn't pay to fix this!!! where the heck is your faith Tracey & Face! Man I tell you people these days treat marriage as if it is a fad, and they are continuously revolving husbands and wifes like they are a piece of cloth that should be donated to charity, Yet there are so many people who want to be married and either they don't have noone to marry, or the person who is with them don't want to marry them or they settle for married men/women and it is a sad sad situation and all I can say is WHY Tracey? Why Eddie? What happened Face? **shaking head** >>Read More<<

Millionaires and The Middle Class Distinction # 10

2007-09-20T20:05:00.000-07:00

Distinction #10: Millionaires think long-term. The Middle Class thinks Short-Term.

***

Now, how many of you can say that you know a millionaire personally. If you do I guess the title for distinction # 10 explains why they are millionaires, but if you took the time to read the questions that were proposed in the "First Post" I believe somewhere in that head of yours a light bulb will go off. Now, to answer the questions from the "First Post" My answers were the following:

1. When it comes to my finances, I think Month-toMonth.

2. I need my Finances ("Money") for comfort.

Now as I continued to read Distinction #10 I started talking outloud to the book because according to the book the category in which I fell in was this:

**Middle Class & Comfort **

What I learned from the break down is this:

If you think:

Week-to-Week = Very Poor

Month-to-Month=Middle Class

Year-to-Year= Rich or Very Rich!

Now, it was at that point that I know I have a Millionaire way of thinking because the average middle class person would have wiped the sweat from their heads and would have been grateful that they did not fall in the Very Poor category, But if most of us fell into this category then that meant that mostly likely SOME of us are very poor and I my friend was not satisfied by the category I fell in!! ( I know it's just a book, but it sure has me thinking, I encourage you to read this book and come back to share your comments, YOU NEVER KNOW WHO YOU MAY HELP.

Now the book went on to explain the comfort zone and it stated the following:

"Middle Class Seeks to be comfortable is because they have a scarcity mentality; they believe there is not enough money for everyone to have more than enough"

Now the question is: Do you still want to be comfortable?

We as a people need to stop living the life that society wants us to live. It is all mental society makes us believe that we have to work for wages, Why can't someone work for us? We have to believe that there is more than enough money for everyone to have in order to reach that Millionaire mentality. I believe that this method can also be adopted in our everyday lives, change how you save you'll have more money. Change the way you talk to your kids; they will become better people etc. I am curious to know what your answers will be:

Today because it is today that I will start my millionaire mentality I would like for you you to share the following: How can we double your income this year? How can we legally pay less taxes? What would I like life to be like in ten years?

But remember you can't just think long-term financially, you must think long-term in every area of life (Page 9, please read the book).

Quotes from the book:
"People who can't love or be patient or kind, people who can't forgive, and people who get angry easily are very poor emotionally" How do you expect to gain a Millionaire way of thinking if you can't get your focus correct at home .

Millionaires And The Middle Class

2007-09-19T12:05:00.000-07:00

Currently I am reading "Millionaires and the Middle Class" and I tell you that already I feel my brain churning and thinking. So far in the first ten pages it is an interesting read.

Basically, this book discusses the distinction between middle class and Millionaires; There are 10 distinctions beginning and the book begins with Distinction #10.

Today, I would like for you to be as open as possible in sharing information about yourself.

First, I want you to think of your finances… Are you thinking? Great, now I want you to answer this question:

When it comes to sorting out your finances, do you budget:

1. Week- to Week?
2. Month-to-Month?
3. Year-to-Year?
4. Decade-to-Decade?

What is your mindset regarding your money? Do you need it for:

1. Survival
2. Comfort
3. Freedom

Be as Honest as Possible, from here on I will be journaling my thoughts and feeling about these distinctions and from time-to-time. I will be proposing questions that may get your mind to churning. Note that most of the questions will be coming from the book and will be in blue, my questions will be in red. I will be back to read your comments. Thanks for partaking.

********************************
"Don't be satisfied with stories, how things have gone with others. Unfold / your own myth...." -- Rumi
********************************

I read this and I was like, wow this is serious! These were the thought that went throught my head after reading this quote:

1. Stop pretending that the grass is greener on your side of the fence, open the gates and take a view at the mess in your own damn backyard!

2. Do you really think I believe what you said, of course I went to confirm what you said, that is why I don't really trust you too much now cause I have caught you in so many lies!

3. Wasn't your yard cleared when you got rid of your baggage by moving out and leaving him? Then why the heck are you still seeing him, knowing that his girl is pregnant and living with her in his place that you moved from! Then you had the nerve! To say "Well, if got brought in back in my life then I have to accept it, and your Fourty (?) years old.

4. Glad to see you have come to your conclusion about your myth, but I respect that you gave him time and all though it hurts for you to send him on his way, you realized what was best for you and your childs life.

5. I'am gonna need you to start paying attention to the myths in your life before she starts realizing the myths in hers!!!!!

He's Not On His Knees Yet.

2007-09-17T09:53:00.000-07:00

He doesn't know his worth, Wears the saddest smile on earth, but he denies it.

Love is reaching out to him, but he won't let it in. He defies it.

He's not ready…He not on his knees yet…he's too strong… to be weak!!!!
Show him mercy!! He's not on his Knees yet.

Let him break please make him better, put the pieces back together.

He thinks that he's alone, I have walked the road he's on and I know he's searching.

Looking everywhere but up, He can fill his empty cup
So he keeps hurting..

He's not ready…He not on his knees yet…he's too strong to be week
Show him mercy!!

Help Him Please!!! He's Not On His Knees Yet!!!!

Sick of It!

2007-09-15T09:32:00.001-07:00

I hate when people get mad at you for something you do, but when they do it, it is okay. I am getting sick and tired of this BS! You asked what I m talking about..He has only been on the phone since 10:13-12:17am and I was only suppose to leave my house to get where I m suppose to get by 12pm, but who would care about something that don't have anything to do with them. If the shoe was on the other foot it would be hurry up! Get off the phone! Get off the computer etc. Now it is 12:24pm and he is now taking a shower and I was suppose to be there early to help set up!!!!! I swear when people depend on you they expect so much, but you have to depend on them you expect the same and when they don't come through for you they don't expect you to say or do anything. You're just suppose to expect the fact that they just don't care, but when you give them a piece of their own medicine, they have so much to say!!-People..

The accusation!

2007-09-14T18:27:00.001-07:00

Have you ever been accused of something that you did not do and once your confronted you laugh out loud because you can't believe that the person took the time to even approch you?

Well that happened to me. My husband accused me of looking at his paystub, and all I could do was laugh because his accusation was not true at all. Then what was more was:

1. He told me how much he makes.
2. I do your taxes for the last five years
3.You have to freakin kidding me!
4.Re you serious? **Confused look**, but still laughing. Have great weekend!

Welcome to 30 Min Meals...

2007-09-09T21:00:00.000-07:00

I am your host Nitty-Gritty. LOL. I didn't know what to make for dinner today, but for some reason I had the taste for crabs again. I need to make that my last time for having them. Anyway, I also made some shrimp kabobs on the grill. They were so delicious. I whipped up some special sauce which included some dry herbs and melted some butter and garlic and while they cooked I brushed them with the butter and garlic from time-to-time until they were done. They looked so good. I swear I could be a spokes person for George Forman's Grill. I cook everything on it! chicken, steak, vegetables, sausages, port chops, you name it I put it on the grill. sSew if I could make soup on it I would too. So dinner tonight was Crabs, Salad and Shrimp Kabobs.. I was suppose to make some organic rice with some shrimp in it, but I got tooo lazy, maybe next time. So hope you all enjoyed your weekend and let me know if you can smell the flavor coming off my shirmps! Good night.

Cruisin' on the Bateaux!

2007-09-08T20:13:00.000-07:00

Well ...It has been a busy week for me kids, work, kids other people's bull and usually I try to take every friday off, if I can but since my boss decided that he was going to take us on a Dinner cruise around New york I decided that I would come to work at 2:00 get some work done, send out one of my projects which will have to wait until Monday (I am dead meat! I did not meet the dealine) . Anyway, this would be my second cruise because my first cruise was lunch and the cruise ship left from Philedelphia. Last year the company took the same cruise and we had so much fun that we decided to do it up again ont the "Bateaux". It's a glass ship and you can see the view in full circle, so that means ever if you look up and its dark enough you can see the stars. There was singing, drinks of any kind, apetizers, dancing and lots of sight seeing!! Boy I tell you I appreciate New York becuase the cruise to nowhere in Phili was okay compared to this cruise. We had the perfect window seating and the tables were set up lovely. Our seating was the left and it seated 8 per table, I think was about 40 of us. Anyway we sat for a few then decided to take advantage of the outside view which was absolutely beautiful. I tell you again that you learn to appreciate what yo uhave and how blessed you are to have it. As I sat sipping on a little drink (nothing special) I laughed continuously becuase I have my work crew at my table. The waiter was a little slow, but once we pointed out to him what his flaws were he kept on top of us. I took a few pictures from the boat, but with all the rocking my pictures did not come out the way that I wanted them to. See for yourself: Do you see how blurry that was, but gives you an idea of the vision I was trying to capture. Below if you look closely you can see the 9/11 lights (Vertical Picture) the other is just a picture of the skyline and a video of the skyline... I like taking pictures, but rocking doesn't help for a clear pic. Have a great weekend.

WHAT'S THE BIG DEAL?

2007-09-06T22:50:00.000-07:00

Before Reading please answer the following question at the end:

1. Did Nitty do anything wrong?

2. Do you think their was another motive behind this call?

3. What would you have done?

>>>>>>

I am convinced that Superman (SM) and Lex just need to settle their differences. Keep in mind that Superman is my oldest male sibling and Lex is my youngest mail sibling.

>>>Now Back to What's The Big Deal? >>>

Well last night at about 8:00pm I was sitting on my bed minding my own business and the phone rings.

*Ring*Ring*

Nitty: Hello?

SM: What's up Nit?

Narrator: Now Nitty is surprised because her brother really doesn't call her. He's just weird like that.

Nitty: Nothing, What's up?

SM: (In an angry tone) Yo! Can you do me a favor?

Nitty: Yeah, What?

SM: The next time that you see Lex or if you speak to Lex before I do, tell him that SM said "Stop using my plucking address and telephone number because I keep getting mail and phone calls from "The address".

Narrator: Keep in mind that SM and Lex have some pass history.

Nitty: (Very Calm.) no… I'm not going to relay that message.

SM: What! What are you talking about?

Nitty: I said I'm not going ot relay that message because I am not going to put myself in the middle of this.

SM: (In confusion) you mean to tell me you just can't tell Lex and tell him what I said?!

Nitty: I don't know what's wrong with what I said, but the fact is I'm not going to relay that message because this is your problem. He didn't have mail sent to my house and if he did I would have called him myself. Plus, this can cause strife and I just don't want to be in the middle of this and I can't understand why you're yelling, because the fact still remains that I won't relay the message.

SM: I don't see what the problem is!!!!

Nitty: I don't see what's the problem with my answer, but if I speak to Lex today, or see him tomorrow I am not going to relay the message.

SM: You know what, that's Plucked up!!

Nitty: I don't see why? My answer is just no because the last time I said anything it turned into fingers pointing at Nitty and I promised myself that I would not get into anyone elses business, so no Bullshit Don't get blown out of proportion! Just get the number from *Name of SM wife*, mommy, or Your other sister, your other brother, that is if you don't want me to give it to you because your acting like you don't want the number.

SM: Yeah Okay (he said sarcastically) I'll call myself, but I can't see why you just can't do me that favor.

***Click***

My Brain: Because I said No! What do think no means yes!!

Narrator: Keep in mind that Nitty did know about the letters coming to Superman's house because she had this discussion with his wife and at the time it was just plain ole conversation and it wasn't that serious. In fact, during the innocent conversation Nitty agreed with SM's wife that Lex was wrong for using their information without first consulting with them., but Nitty had to play stupid because if superman would have known that Nitty had this conversation with is wife, which was not worth anything, then he would have taken it to the next level.

(10 minutes later)

*Ring*Ring*

SM: Yeah Nitty, I just wanted to tell you that I called, but his girl picked up and I didn't leave a message.

Nittty: That's good.

SM: but what's still bothering me is how you couldn't just tell him!!!!

Nitty: (Still Calm) I really can't see why you're having soo much trouble with this?

SM: You mean to tell me!! That I can't call my... sister! And ask her to do be a simple favor?!! That's plucked up!

Nitty: I'm not just your sister and Lex is your brother and how dare you call here disturbing my evening especially with the "Call my sister stuff" because you never call me…

Narrator: Now, Nitty is getting very upset.

Nitty: You called me with this petty shit that you can handle on yourself, what about asking me how my day was, and you don't know if I could be going through something and your just piling your bullshit on me.

SM: Bullshit!! You want to know the truth! Your full of shit! Everyone is full of shit! You don't want to be in the middle like this is going to be blown out of proportion, you just want to take it out of proportion!

My Brain: Wow, I really wonder where all this is coming from especially at the fact that you don't have much conversation with me.

SM: (Continues) Everybody has their little shit floating around!! You think I don't know??? I just sit back watch and listen, so your full of shit.

My Brain: Prozac anyone?

Narrator: Finally, after sitting quietly and listening Nitty yelled back!

Nitty: GOOD FOR YOU!!!! Continue to sit back and listen to whatever bullshit until you bust open, but what's so sad to me is that you are calling me with this bullshit which is not my problem, yet telling me I am full of shit and it's clear to me that you really don't know the real bullshit that your accusing me of starting or talking about because if you did you really would not be attacking me!! so let's not talk about bullshit!

My Brain: All a men's ways seem innocent to him, but motive are weighted by the Lord-Proverbs 16:2

Nitty: (continues) so, continue to sit and observe and come at me with facts and see then who is really is a bull Shitter!!

My brain: Why am I allowing SM to take me to the next level, let me just calm down. " Don't have anything to do with foolish stupid arguments, because you know they produce quarrels-2^nd Timothy 2:23

Narrator: Now superman changes the subject to focus on what Nitty said earlier in the conversation.

SM: So, I never call you?? (He said agitated)

Nitty: don’t ask me something you know the answer to.

SM: Well, how was you day? (He said loudly)

Nitty: Great and yours?

SM: Yeah… fine. How is little mans finger? (Still loud talking)

Nitty: Good it's healing well glad you finally asked.

SM: That's good you have a good night!!!

Nitty: Yeah, you too.

SM: Bye **Click**

Narrator: Nitty hung up the phone, prayed for her bother. Then though to call his wife, but she figured he was close to home. Then she thought to text her, but thought that he would have heard her phone and wanted to know if it were me and if she said yet, not knowing he and I had just got off the phone, then they would have been probably arguing and it just was not worth it.

Oh Por Favor!!

**11:00pm**

Lex: calling not knowing what went down between Superman and I and he was yelling in my hear that his brother called him cursing at him and calling him names etc.. I was too tired at this point and this was the reason why I said I did not want to be in the middle of this BS!! Boy I tell you the devil sure knows how to use people to stir trouble in the peoples lives, as I so leaned, but I tell you one thing I will never find myself in that seat again! so know answer the questions and tell me what you think.

What have They Done for you? and...

what have you done for him?

Your Invited To Dinner!

2007-09-05T12:17:00.000-07:00

If you could invite ten people to a dinner party, who would you invite?

They can be from the past or present.

If they are dead, they can be temporarily resurrected for the party, but then they have to go back to being dead, because those are the laws of the universe!

All Alone On A Saturday Evening...

2007-09-02T09:05:00.000-07:00

Well, I can't complain I asked for a break and mysteriously got one. I went out food shopping this afternoon, then my husband decided that he was going out with his friends (which I think he should do at least once per month as long as it does not conflict with our schedule.) Then my 12 year old found a way to get to his aunts house...The real reason is he can't go on myspce, so I know once he got there he would ask his cousin to help him (and she did)

So, I brought some crab and some seasoning and decided to cook some crab all alone. The best part is I get to eat some before everyone else comes home. Wrong! I just got a call that the kids were back on their way home, well at lest I got to et two by myself. Well back to crackin', Pickin' and eatin'...

You Nasty You!

2007-08-31T19:15:00.000-07:00

This Post was inspired by Mis-Understood. Now people we all know the simple steps of using the bathroom.

1. Enter Bathroom

2. Wash your hands (Do you?)

3. Proceed into Stall (Use tissue to touch any knobs)

4. Cover Toilet Seat at all times (If you prefer to use your tiptoes because that's how your mama taught you, then that's fine to).

5. Perform a #1 and/or #2

6. Now Ladies!!!!! If you do a #1 always wipe from front to Back (Wiping from back to front will cause bacteria to poison the man in the boat and this can result in all types of bacterial infections.

7. If it so happens that #2 follows (Which most of the time it does, depending if you have trained your body), then you must wipe from the front all the way to the back.

***Keep in mind that if I should meet you in the Bathroom finishing the #2, then I am going to be watching to see if you WASH YOUR HANDS!**

8. Please note that in any of the cases above it is not only your hands that you wash because depending on how big your bottom is, your wrist and forearm may touch the crevices of your buttocks therefore making a stinky, stink on your arm, so with that said when you leave the stall you must not only WASH YOUR HANDS, BUT YOU MUST WASH PAST THE LINE THAT SEPEERATES YOUR HAND AND FOREARM!!

9. Wash, Wash Wash and don't only use water, for goodness sakes you just finished taking some NUMBERS!!

10. While washing Sing Happy Birthday to Your self in its entirety (Learned that working in the Hospital) Rinse, dry, use towel to exit Bathroom and when that is done I will be saying "Thank you" for holding the door for me instead of saying You Nasty You!
